I made a mistake today! By accident, I watched Bush talk after his being notified that the Immigration bill did not pass the Senate. I never watch him because he just makes me so angry.
What I noticed is that he blamed the Senate and not the Republicans for this defeat. Now, if it were the Democrats who handed him the defeat, he would have blamed them. In fact, he would have excoriated them. However, he could not do this to the member's of his own party.
Another thing, he went through a litany of programs that he wants to accomplish during the final years of his lame-duck, or fractured, administration. One of these is health care. He stated that we should have a new health care system without government involvement. Can you believe this? As much as private industry has screwed-up everything they have touched, the nerve of him to suggest this. I guess "Sicko" is on his mind. We only have to look as far as Walter Reed to see what private industry will not accomplish.
One other observation: This man looks totally depressed and defeated! He looked as if he saw the last door closing on his administration. If he can't accomplish this with the dems help, what can he accomplish? The only thing he has left is to stand pat against the subpoenas.
Now the fun starts!
